In the middle of 2014-2015 school year, Riverfield Roots & Shoots students researched and planned how to build a small chicken coop. They planned how to sell the eggs, what supplies and food the chickens would need, along with keeping them safe from birds of prey. The students presented their plan to the administration and faculty. The project was approved and the chicken coop was built. The students then measured a plot of barnyard land for the area for the chickens to roam, dug all the post holes, and fenced it in for the chicken coop and hens.

We will build and maintain a raised bed pollinator garden on National Park property behind School without Walls Francis Stevens. We will plant native species plants common to this area that are known to be supportive of pollinator species and thrive in a sunny location. We must obtain a permit to plant on park property and are obligated to keep maintain the garden for at least 5 years. At that time we can apply again for another permit. This project begins with the building of the garden but is ongoing. We will remove invasives and trash and use the garden as a lesson to the local public of the importance of native plants and native animals including insects.
